STEWARDSHIP

To Be a Christian Steward A Summary of the U.S. Bishops' Pastoral Letter on Stewardship

"As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace" (1 Pt 4:10).

What identifies a steward? Safeguarding material and human resources and using them responsibly are one answer; so is generous giving of time, talent, and treasure. But being a Christian steward means more. As Christian stewards, we receive God's gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with others, and return them with increase to the Lord. Disciples as Stewards Let us begin with being a disciple—a follower of our Lord Jesus Christ. As members of the Church, Jesus calls us to be disciples. This has aston-ishing implications:

Mature disciples make a conscious decision to follow Jesus, no mat-ter what the cost.

Christian disciples experience conversion—lifeshaping changes of mind and heart—and commit their very selves to the Lord.

Christian stewards respond in a particular way to the call to be a disciple. Stewardship has the power to shape and mold our under-standing of our lives

and the way in which we live. Jesus' disciples and Christian stewards recognize God as the origin of life, giver of freedom, and source of all things. We are grateful for the gifts we have received and are eager to use them to show our love for God and for one another. We look to the life and teaching of Jesus for guid-ance in living as Christian stewards.

Stewards of Creation The Bible contains a profound message about the stewardship of material creation: God created the world, but entrusts it to human beings. Caring for and cultivating the world involves the following:

Joyful appreciation for the God-given beauty and wonder of nature;

Protection and preservation of the environment, which would be the stewardship of ecological concern;

Respect for human life—shielding life from threat and assault, do-ing everything that can be done to enhance this gift and make life flourish; and

Development of this world through noble human effort—physical labor, the trades and professions, the arts and sciences. We call such effort "work." Work is a fulfilling human vocation.

The Second Vatican Council points out that, through work, we build up not only our world but the Kingdom of God, already present among us. Work is a partnership with God—our share in a divine human collabora-tion in creation. It occupies a central place in our lives as Christian stew-ards.

Stewards of Vocation Jesus calls us, as his disciples, to a new way of life—the Christian way of life—of which stewardship is part. But Jesus does not call us as nameless people in a faceless crowd. He calls us individually, by name. Each one of us—clergy, religious, lay person; married, single; adult, child—has a

personal vocation. God intends each one of us to play a unique role in carrying out the divine plan. The challenge, then, is to understand our role—our vocation—and to respond generously to this call from God. Christian vocation entails the practice of stewardship. In addition, Christ calls each of us to be stewards of our personal vocations, which we re-ceive from God.

Stewards of the Church Stewards of God's gifts are not passive beneficiaries. We cooperate with God in our own redemption and in the redemption of others. We are also obliged to be stewards of the Church—collaborators and coopera-tors in continuing the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, which is the Church's essential mission. This mission—proclaiming and teaching, serving and sanctifying—is our task. It is the personal responsibility of each one of us as stewards of the Church. All members of the Church have their own roles to play in carrying out its mission:

Parents, who nurture their children in the light of faith;

Parishioners, who work in concrete ways to make their parishes true communities of faith and vibrant sources of service to the larg-er community;

All Catholics, who give generous support—time, money, prayers, and personal service according to their circumstances—to parish and diocesan programs and to the universal Church.

Obstacles to Stewardship People who want to live as Christian disciples and Christian stewards face serious obstacles. In the United States and other nations, a dominant secular culture often contradicts religious convictions about the meaning of life. This culture frequently encourages us to focus on ourselves and our pleasures.

At times, we can find it far too easy to ignore spiritual realities and to deny religion a role in shaping human and social values. As Catholics who have entered into the mainstream of American society and experienced its advantages, many of us also have been adversely influenced by this secular culture. We know what it is to struggle against selfishness and greed, and we realize that it is harder for many today to accept the chal-lenge of being a Christian steward. It is essential, therefore, that we make a special effort to understand the true meaning of stewardship and live accordingly.

A Steward's Way The life of a Christian steward models the life of Jesus. It is challenging and even difficult, in many respects, yet intense joy comes to those who take the risk to live as Christian stewards. Women and men who seek to live as stewards learn that "all things work for good for those who love God" (Rom 8:28).

After Jesus, we look to Mary as an ideal steward. As the Mother of Christ, she lived her ministry in a spirit of fidelity and service; she re-sponded generously to the call. We must ask ourselves: Do we also wish to be disciples of Jesus Christ and Christian stewards of our world and our Church? Central to our human and Christian vocations, as well as to the unique vocation each one of us receives from God, is that we be good stewards of the gifts we possess. God gives us this divine-human work-shop, this world and Church of ours.

The Spirit shows us the way.

Stewardship is a part of that journey. Copied with permission from©2017 United States Conference of Catholic Bishop

Administración (Corresponsabilidad)

Para ser un administrador Cristiano Un Resumen de la Carta Pastoral de los Obispos de Estados Unidos sobre la Corresponsabilidad

"Cada uno según el don que ha recibido, lo utilizan para servir como buenos administradores de la multiforme gracia de Dios" (1 Pe 4,10).

Lo que identifica a un administrador? Salvaguarda de los recursos materiales y humanos y utilizarlos de manera responsable son una respuesta; por lo que es generosa donación de tiempo, talento y dinero. Pero ser un mayordomo cristiano significa más. Como administradores cristianos, recibimos los dones de Dios con gratitud, cultivarlas de manera responsable, compartirlos con amor en la justicia con los demás, y devolverlos con el aumento al Señor.

Discípulos como administradores Comencemos por ser discípulo-un seguidor de nuestro Señor Jesucris-to. Como miembros de la Iglesia, Jesús nos llama a ser discípulos. Esto tiene consecuencias sorprendentes:

discípulos maduros hacen una decisión consciente de seguir a Jesús, no importa cuál sea el costo.

Cristianos discípulos experimentan cambios conversión, formación de vida, de mente y de corazón y se comprometen a ellos mismos al Se-ñor.

mayordomos cristianos responden de una manera particular a la llama-da a ser un discípulo. La administración tiene el poder de dar forma y moldear nuestro entendimiento de nuestras vidas

y la forma en la que vivimos. Los discípulos de Jesús y los mayordomos cristianos reconocen a Dios como el origen de la vida, dador de libertad, y la fuente de todas las cosas. Estamos muy agradecidos por los dones que hemos recibido y estamos deseosos de utilizarlos para mostrar nuestro amor por Dios y por los demás. Esperamos que la vida y las enseñanzas de Jesús como guía para vivir como mayordomos cristianos.

Administradores de la creación La Biblia contiene un mensaje profundo acerca de la administración de la creación de material: Dios creó el mundo, pero confía a los seres huma-nos. Cuidar y cultivar el mundo consiste en lo siguiente:

aprecio alegre para la belleza y la maravilla de la naturaleza dada por Dios;

Protección y preservación del medio ambiente, lo que sería la adminis-tración de la preocupación ecológica;

Respeto a la vida de blindaje contra la vida de la amenaza y asalto, ha-ciendo todo lo que se puede hacer para mejorar este regalo y hacer la vida humana florecer; y

El desarrollo de este mundo a través de la mano de obra humana noble esfuerzo físico, los oficios y profesiones, las artes y las cien-cias. Llamamos a este esfuerzo "trabajo". El trabajo es una vocación humana plena.

El Concilio Vaticano II señala que, a través del trabajo, construimos no sólo nuestro mundo, pero el Reino de Dios, ya presente entre nosotros. El traba-jo es una asociación con Dios, nuestra participación en una colaboración humana divina en la creación. Ocupa un lugar central en nuestra vida como cristianos corresponsables.

Mayordomos de la vocación Jesús nos llama, como sus discípulos, a una nueva forma de vida de la forma de vida cristiana de la que forma parte la administración. Pero Jesús no nos llama la gente como sin nombre en una multitud sin rostro. Nos llama de

forma individual, por su nombre. Cada uno de nosotros, clero, religioso, laico; casado Soltero; adulto, niño-tiene una vocación personal. Dios tiene la intención de cada uno de nosotros para jugar un papel único en la realización del plan divino. El desafío, entonces, es entender nuestro papel, nuestra vocación y de responder generosamente a esta llamada de Dios. vocación cristiana implica la práctica de la administración. Además, Cristo llama a cada uno de nosotros para ser administradores de nuestras vocaciones perso-nales, que recibimos de Dios.

Administradores de la Iglesia Administradores de los dones de Dios no son beneficiarios pasi-vos. Cooperamos con Dios en nuestra propia redención y en la redención de los demás. También estamos obligados a ser administradores de la iglesia-colaboradores y cooperadores en la continuación de la obra redentora de Jesucristo, que es la misión esencial de la Iglesia. Esta misión de anunciar y enseñar, servir y santificar-es nuestra tarea. Es responsabilidad personal de cada uno de nosotros como administradores de la Iglesia. Todos los miem-bros de la Iglesia tienen sus propias funciones que desempeñar en el cumpli-miento de su misión:

Los padres, que alimentan a sus hijos a la luz de la fe;

Los feligreses, que trabajan de forma concreta para hacer que sus parro-quias verdaderas comunidades de fe y fuentes vibrantes de servicio a la comunidad en general;

Todos los católicos, que dan apoyo generoso en tiempo, dinero, oracio-nes, y el servicio personalizado de acuerdo a sus circunstancias a Parro-quias y programas diocesanos y para la Iglesia universal.

Obstáculos con la administración Las personas que quieren vivir como discípulos de Cristo y mayordomos cristianos se enfrentan a serios obstáculos. En los Estados Unidos y otras naciones, una cultura secular dominante a menudo en contradicción con las convicciones religiosas sobre el significado de la vida. Esta cultura con fre-cuencia nos anima a centrarnos en nosotros mismos y nuestros placeres.

A veces, podemos encontrar demasiado fácil hacer caso omiso de las realida-des espirituales y negar la religión un papel en la formación de los valores humanos y sociales. Como católicos que han entrado en la corriente princi-pal de la sociedad americana y experimentado sus ventajas, muchos de noso-tros también hemos sido influenciados negativamente por esta cultura secu-lar. Sabemos lo que es luchar contra el egoísmo y la codicia, y nos damos cuenta de que es más difícil para muchos hoy en día para aceptar el reto de ser un Cristiano corresponsable. Es esencial, por tanto, que hacemos un esfuerzo especial para entender el verdadero significado de la administración y vivir en consecuencia.

Camino de un Mayordomo La vida de un cristiano corresponsable modelos de la vida de Jesús. Es un reto difícil, e incluso, en muchos aspectos, pero intensa alegría viene a aque-llos que toman el riesgo de vivir como mayordomos cristianos. Las mujeres y los hombres que buscan vivir como administradores aprenden que "todas las cosas para bien de los que aman a Dios" (Romanos 8:28).

Después de Jesús, miramos a María como un auxiliar de vuelo ideal. A medi-da que la Madre de Cristo, que vivió su ministerio en un espíritu de fidelidad y servicio; ella respondió generosamente a la llamada. Debemos preguntar-nos: ¿También deseamos ser discípulos de Jesucristo y cristianos correspon-sables de nuestro mundo y nuestra Iglesia? El centro de nuestras vocaciones humanas y cristianas, así como a la vocación única de cada uno de nosotros recibe de Dios, es que seamos buenos administradores de los dones que poseemos. Dios nos da este taller divino-humano, este mundo y nuestra Iglesia.

El Espíritu nos muestra el camino.

La administración es una parte de ese viaje. Tomado de© 2017 Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de Estados Unidos

life. Exploring Priesthood Weekends are held at Mundelein Semi-

nary, 1000 East Maple Avenue, Mundelein, Illinois. The Semi-nary is located about 40 miles north of downtown Chicago and easily accessible by car or train. Transportation is available to
